Fashion Finds for the Fourth

Declare your independence with these fabulously festive finds for the Fourth of July.

Try a Sunny Bikini: Who says it’s got to be all red, white and blue for the holiday? We love the cheery nature of this canary yellow Triangle Top and matching Ring Side Hipster bikini from Rampage (each piece is $48). We also spotted a similar suit for half the price from Victoria’s Secret: this polka dot bandeau top and micro-scoop bottom for a total of $29.

Cover Up: If you’re spending time in the sun today (or any day this summer, for that matter) be sure to protect yourself (and we’re not just talking sunscreen). A wide-brimmed straw hat, like this Helen Welsh Straw Sun Hat from Bloomingdales ($40) will keep your face shaded, but also protect colored hair from fading in the sun. The eyes have it with these Christian Dior Stronger 1 Plastic Sunglasses (on sale for $150 at SmartBargains.com).

Stash Your Goods: If you’re hitting the beach (or even the concrete) for some fun in the sun and don’t want to be bothered with a big bag, try sporting these Stash Reef Sandals ($46).
